Dollymount, Co. Dublin

Dublin City Council have included, in their Management Plan for North Bull Island, an agreed Code of Conduct for wind-powered activities on Dollymount - we would ask that everyone please respects this as it helped to secure use of the beach for kite surfing.Below is an important extract of this:

Promptly enter and exit the water from and to the launch zone.

Avoid unnecessary flying of large kites, other than trainer kites, on the beach.
